Investing in Our Youth
Pentecost Offering
At the end of this month, many congregations around the PC(USA) will be receiving the Pentecost Offering. The Pentecost Offering is a relatively new addition to the Special Offerings, but it is also a very important one, as it supports our children at risk, youth, and young adult ministries. Not only does this Offering support these ministries at the national level, but churches receiving the Pentecost Offering may keep 40% to use for ministries with children at risk in their own communities.
